Are you trying to transfer a 2023 tax file so that you can start a new 2024 tax return?  A pdf will not work.  You need the tax file.     How to transfer last year’s return?    https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/transfer-last-year-return-turbotax-online/L279eUvY2_US_en_US?uid=m6ayqk1s  

I am having the same issue this year when entering a car in class 10.1 and disposing of a previous. Same scenario with the proceeds of disposition. I know CRA wants each auto on a separate row but when I select Row 2 it still goes on row 1. My end result is $283 CCA and $0  in UCC to carry forward? (Using the max $37000+ tax as cost, remaing UCC on previous vehicle $2200, proceeds of disposition $7500). I did not select DIEP or AII when entering the new one.  As well was not used for old vehicle that was purchased in 2018.

Often state return reject due to something on the W-2 not matching up.  Make sure your rejection error is referring to line 18 instead of box 18.  If it says something is wrong with box 18, then double check all the W-2 entries that are part of your return and be sure that if there is anything reported in box 18 of any of your W-2s, that it is a numerical value and that box 19 and 20 are also filled in.  If boxes 19 and 20 are blank, but box 18 is zero, then delete the zero.     If your state return is still rejected after double-checking those entries once again, then you should print it and mail the return.  Be sure to include copies of all W-2 and other tax forms showing state withholdings.

What is "it" that shows your refund has been issued?   Does the IRS refund site say your refund was issued?   Have you allowed up to five days for the refund to post to your account?     FROM THE IRS WHERE’S MY REFUND SITE: https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund How it works Where's My Refund shows your refund status: Return Received – We received your return and are processing it. Refund Approved – We approved your refund and are preparing to issue it by the date shown. Refund Sent – We sent the refund to your bank or to you in the mail. It may take 5 days for it to show in your bank account or several weeks for your check to arrive in the mail.  

If you don't see a dangling 1099-R from last year,  or a way to clear that unwanted amount without an override, you have to delete your tax return and start again from scratch. check for 1099-R(s) to be deleted when you import last year's return.   @kfsj

It is possible that adding a W-2 could result in tax that you owe and need to pay.   More income  = more tax.  So look over your Form 1040X very carefully.   Adding a W-2 does not necessarily mean another refund.

Your gender has nothing whatsoever to do with possible tax credits you can get.   Go through the section for Deductions and Credits to see the possibilities.   Depending on how much you earned, if you were 25 before the end of 2024 you might be eligible for earned income credit.   If you are eligible, it is added automatically to line 27 of your Form 1040.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-credits-deductions/qualifications-earned-income-credit-eic-eitc/L7w4BFP32_US_en_US?uid=m62rmz09   https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit/use-the-eitc-assistant   https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p596.pdf

If someone else can claim you as a dependent and you did not mark on your own return that you can be claimed, that is why your e-files are being rejected.    Are you a teenager or a student?   Does a parent claim you as a dependent?   If so, you need to make a change to your return and then try to e-file again.     Go to MY INFO.  Click your name.   Go through the screens for the question that asks if someone else can claim you as a dependent.  Say YES.   If you are certain that no one can claim you as a dependent then print, sign and mail your return and the IRS will sort out the duplicate use of your SSN.   Here is the criteria for someone to claim you:   WHO CAN I CLAIM AS A DEPENDENT?   You can claim a child, relative, friend, or fiancé (etc.) as a dependent on your 2024 taxes as long as they meet the following requirements: Qualifying child They're related to you. They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else. They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident. They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse. They're under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students). No age limit for permanently and totally disabled children. They lived with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply). They didn't provide more than half of their own support for the year. Qualifying relative They don't have to be related to you (despite the name). They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else. They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident. They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse. They lived with you the entire year (exceptions apply). They made less than $5050 in 2024 (not counting Social Security) You provided more than half of their financial support.    

Always print a copy of your completed tax return for your records, and review it carefully before e-Filing. You will need it if you are audited by the IRS, to contact the IRS, or to amend if a TurboTax update changes your return or for any other reason, AND, to find your AGI next year.   @kurtmueller
